Help and Hope for an Unexpected Journey

Do real Christians commit suicide? Yes, they do. And for those left behind, the journey following such a tragedy is unbearably painful.

Finding Your Way after the Suicide of Someone You Love is a compassionate and practical guide that addresses the intensely personal issues of survivors of suicide (SOS). This gentle and faith-affirming resource helps survivors know what to expect, especially during the first year following a suicide. It includes personal stories of survivors and suggestions on how to move beyond survival to live life again. Designed for use by individuals, couples, and SOS groups, this book offers help for parents, siblings, friends, and extended families, as well as practical guidelines for pastors, Christian counselors, and other church leaders.

Topics include:

  • What to do in the immediate aftermath of a suicide
  • Handling guilt and understanding the role of depression in suicides
  • Dealing with questions of faith and meaning
  • Creating a support system
  • Choosing a Christian therapist
  • Trusted resources and websites

I have several people in my life that fit the title of “5 people who can ruin your life”. This book was so helpful I’ve listened to it several times. The reading was done well and the story itself flowed smoothly and made me not want to stop listening. Actually made me laugh a lot!

The most help and realistic book I have come across since I lost my husband to suicide in February. Informative, sensitive, and able to reach people from all angles of this tragedy. So glad to have found it!!!

Excellent Audible!!!!

This was the second book I read on this topic. It has a Christian flare, but not extremely so, so there is no preaching.

I felt the experiences and, in essence, advice were good and understandable. Since the authors, unfortunately, experienced this themselves, they have a clear personal knowledge of the whole experience.

Very Helpful

Survivors are at increased risk for taking their own lives in the aftermath of a suicide. It is important to get help as soon as possible when someone close to you has committed suicide. This book has been extremely helpful to me personally and I will be referring back to it often. It is well written and the authors both share their experiences of the grief associated with losing a loved one through suicide. The faith-based perspective is essential to healing as well as for helping others who experience this tragedy.

Would you listen to Finding Your Way after the Suicide of Someone You Love again? Why?

Dealing with the suicide of someone you love is about as awful a situation as anyone might find themselves in. I read this to help a friend who's son committed suicide. This book really is outstanding at describing all of the manifestations and impacts of the suicide on a persons life and steps to walk through it. These are much broader than you might imagine. It is written from a Christian perspective, but the authors are not too heavy handed about it. I am an atheist, and mostly it was fine. I recommend the book to anyone with the misfortune of finding themselves or someone they care about in this situation. If you do, my heart goes out to you.

Good Primer on a Horrible Situation

There is some good advice in this book, but if you aren't a devout Christian, you'll have to hold your nose through the preaching and sermons. I was offended when they preached that life is pointless without god.

Some decent advice, very religious.
